架构师提供的文本描述。这个朴素的家坐落在Arrowtown历史街区边缘的一个倾斜的小场地上。这是一个当地的要求，参考小规模的体积和简单的形式周围的历史棚屋和外屋，并使用一个同情的材料调色板。此外，客户的简介是在一个成熟的果园和住宅区内安装节能住宅。这是一个紧凑，高质量的房子步行到工作和市中心。

Text description provided by the architects. This modest home sits on a small, sloping site on the edge of the historic precinct in Arrowtown. It was a local requirement to reference the small scale volumes and simple forms of the surrounding historic sheds and outhouses and to use a sympathetic material palette. In addition, the clients’ brief was to fit an energy efficient house within an established orchard and residential neighbourhood. It is a compact, high quality house within walking distance to work and the town centre.

这所房子坐落在路的下面，在毗邻的通道上转弯，向北看太阳，然后穿过果园和两个树木茂密的河谷，眺望远处的山脉。

The house sits below the road and turns it’s back on the adjacent access way to look to the north for sun and views through the orchard up and two wooded river valleys to the mountains beyond.

它使用基本的无源太阳能原理，慷慨的绝缘和天然材料，连同更复杂的手段，如热破碎的窗户和地面能源。这使得它成为一个节能的房子，对环境和邻里的影响都很小。

It uses basic passive solar principles, generous insulation, and natural materials together with more sophisticated means, like thermally broken windows and ground source energy. This makes it an energy efficient house with a low impact on both the environment and neighbourhood.
